Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 457 Jiang Xingye's Business Territory
The group went upstairs to the office area, where the small meeting room was kept very clean.

Jiang Xinglan poured each of them a cup of tea. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Changqing asked, "Who owns this Shangjiang Supermarket?"

“It’s my younger brother’s business; he’s been running it for several years.”

Zhang Changqing exclaimed in amazement, "Business seems to be doing quite well."

"Yes, business is very good, and the sales volume is quite large. We open at eight o'clock every morning and close at eight o'clock every night. The business hours are quite long, but there are also a lot of people."

"Are the policies in the city really that good now?"

Jiang Xinglan guessed their intentions and had a general idea of ​​what was going on. "The national policy is to revitalize the economy. Some poorly managed shops are already being offered for sale to private individuals to generate revenue for the country through tax payments."

This was the first time Zhang Changqing had heard of "using taxes instead of profits," so he asked about it in detail.

Jiang Xinglan said, "Some businesses or shops lose money every year, but the government actually has to subsidize them. For example, the tailor shop in our alley has a bad attitude and poor workmanship. The monthly revenue is not even enough to cover her personal salary."

A couple of years ago, we simply let her contract out the tailor shop, paying six yuan a month to the higher-ups. The tailor's attitude changed immediately; his workmanship improved, and his attitude became much better. Just the other day, I heard he was earning seventy or eighty yuan a month.

Zhang Changqing suddenly realized.

He couldn't help but wonder, those factories in Shangjiang Brigade are barely surviving, constantly asking the county for money to pay wages. Maybe we should try this method?

But when he went back to the city, the city agreed, but who would take over the contract and who had the ability to do so?
Everyone with ability has a secure job, so who would dare to take such a big risk? The city doesn't agree to do this, thinking that people don't have the ability.

After graduating, Jiang Xingye gave up his job assignment, which once again caused a sensation in Yancheng.

After he returned, he obediently stayed at home as a stay-at-home dad for a few days. Just as he was about to go out, Xu Qinghuan became pregnant again.

This pregnancy was somewhat unexpected.

A while ago, Xu Qinghuan ran out of condoms in her storage space. Jiang Xingye, braving the glares that would pierce his heart, went to ask for some more. It was their first time using them, and they were both quite uncomfortable.

Compared to later generations, the armor of that era was like millet plus rifles versus airplanes plus cannons—crude but quite sturdy.

Neither of them had enough fun.

When Jiang Xingye pulled it down, it seemed to be a little torn. He didn't notice it at the time, but he felt that something was wrong. When he wanted to take another look, the trash can had already been emptied.

I'm guessing it was that time.

Xu Qinghuan woke up early in the morning feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit. She took her pulse and found out she was pregnant!

Jiang Xingcan was overjoyed. "Mom, have a little sister! That way, I'll have both a brother and a sister, and my brother will be like an older sister and a younger sister. That would be great!"

Jiang Xingye was also pleasantly surprised. He had long forgotten the time when Xu Qinghuan gave birth and he was so frightened that he had a heart attack. He only thought about how he was going to be a father again.

Amidst the joy, one can't help but sigh, "Even the country's light industry is failing!"

They can't even make a condom; the gap between them and others is truly huge.

Xu Qinghuan retorted, rather speechless, "Why don't you think about improving your own happiness and find a way to increase production in this area?"

As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, she doesn't really accept men getting vasectomies, as it's actually bad for their health.

"It's not impossible!"

He's recently been thinking about buying a storefront and then opening a bigger supermarket.

In Jian Jingchuan's words, he was neglecting his proper duties.

But Xu Qinghuan also knew that Jiang Xingye was too clear about the future, no less so than she, who came from the future. He should either go to a classified unit to do scientific research, or let him see his wife and children only once every few years. It would be better to kill him.

He's unwilling to either go back to his current research institute or scientific research unit and work in a conventional manner.

Jiang Xingye is not the kind of person who would follow orders or take orders.

Therefore, his lone wolf-like personality is only suitable for working alone. Xu Qinghuan saw him constantly buying tools for his family's three-courtyard house, always tinkering with something inside. But no matter how busy he was, he would always pick up and drop off his wife and children from school on time, and he would bring home a large sum of money every month.

Xu Qinghuan had originally been thinking that since there were already three housekeepers in the family, she might want to add another one after the baby was born.

In May 1985, Xu Qinghuan gave birth to another son, whom Jiang Xingye named Jiang Chixing.

He actually became a full-time stay-at-home dad.

Every morning and evening at the appointed time, he would carry his youngest son in a basket and drive to Yenching University to find his wife to breastfeed the baby.

When the child got a little older, he would introduce complementary foods to the child at home, and he did it quite well.

In short, his classmates all worked hard in their jobs, but he alone lived like a member of the Manchu bannermen of the past.

However, the amount of money brought home increased month by month.

Shangjiang Supermarket already had four stores in Yancheng, forming a chain supermarket. Later, Fang Boran came to join him, and with the manpower he had, he opened a supermarket in Shencheng.

When Jiang Chixing was two years old, he went to the Yanda Nursery School with Xu Qinghuan.

This kid is a very clever one. He's the youngest in the family and always tries to take advantage of his older siblings, which often makes Jiang Xingcan furious.

But whenever Jiang Xingcan has time, she loves taking care of her younger brother the most. Compared to Jiang Chijing, she has more sibling love for Jiang Chixing.

Jiang Chixing never slept in the same bed with Xu Qinghuan since childhood. After the child was born, she was busy with her doctoral dissertation, while Jiang Xingye happened to have time. It can be said that the father raised the youngest son single-handedly.

Xu Qinghuan's role was essentially that of a granary.

When his son was nine months old, Jiang Xingye forcibly weaned him.

He was worried that prolonged breastfeeding would harm Xu Qinghuan's health.

When Jiang Chixing was two years old, he slept in the same room as his older brother, who took care of him while he slept.

The couple now have more time in the evenings.

When she saw Jiang Xingye take out a condom, which was no different from the condoms in her previous space, she was quite surprised. "There are still some that slipped through the net!"

She simply couldn't get used to the condoms produced by the current technology. She would reuse them, wrap them in a damp handkerchief after each use, wash them with warm water before using them again, and check them in water to see if there were any tears. Once she was sure they were usable, she would dry them, sprinkle them with talcum powder, roll them up, wrap them up, and store them in a cool place for later use. [1]

This thing actually had to be reused, and it broke during the first use, which made her experience of having a second child quite terrifying.

It's not that she doesn't want a third child, but... what if she miscarries again? Wouldn't she have to have another baby?
Now that the family planning policy has been fully implemented, she was one of the lucky ones to have been included.

"You can't tell, can you? I made it myself."

Xu Qinghuan was even more surprised. She held the condom and examined it repeatedly. It was indeed the same as the one she had used in the space before. It was thin and transparent, and quite tough. It didn't break even when she pulled it hard.

Jiang Xingye took a clean one, and the two of them tried it out; it worked quite well.

Afterwards, Jiang Xingye checked it again to make sure there were no problems before throwing it away.

"Are you planning to open a factory?" Xu Qinghuan was too tired to speak, but the crucial question couldn't be ignored.

"You're still quite strong!" Jiang Xingye hugged his wife. "Yeah, I don't trust other people's products. From now on, I'll make everything myself."

Xu Qinghuan found it amusing, rolled over, and lay on top of him. "Okay then, where do you plan to open it?"

After asking her question, she heard Jiang Xingye say something, but she was too tired and went to sleep.
